1. ENDOWED, O Gods, with your primeval wisdom, come quickly with your chariot, O ye Holy.
     Come with your mighty powers, O ye Nasatyas; come hither, drink ye this the third libation.
2. The truthful Deities, the Three-and-Thirty, saw you approach before the Ever-Truthful.
     Accepting this our worship and libation, O Asvins bright with fire, drink ye the Soma.
3. Asvins, that work of yours deserves our wonder,-the Bull of heaven and earth and air's mid region;
     Yea, and your thousand promises in battle, -to all of these come near and drink beside us.
4. Here is your portion laid for you, ye Holy: come to these songs of ours, O ye Nasatyas.
     Drink among us the Soma full of sweetness, and with your powers assist the man who worships.
